i was truly a child of the internet, and chronically online, I cannot narrow it down so adding these:
• poptropica
• miniclip -- specifically raft wars
• club penguin
• neopets
• moshi monsters
• cartoon network games -- specifically the my gym partner is a monkey and the Billy and Mandy games
• the disney website games
• stardoll -- so simple but so addictive
• moshi monsters
• purple palace
• myscene
my weekends literally consisted of cycling through all these websites for hours

We had so much fun on websites like these when we were kids. It's really scary to think that kids don't have equivalents to these anymore because they felt so formative to our socialization. Did anyone else roleplay as a baby (pookies) and try to get adopted in the puffle shop? Club Penguin, Animal Jam, Moshi Monsters, Stardoll, Poptropica, Weeworld, and many more: may you rest in peace.

I would watch their animations for hourssss, I didn’t even like warrior cats like that but I was hooked
Other heavy hitters were Webkinz, Moshi Monsters, QUIZILLA (💀), Club Penguin, and ofc any kind of dress up game

Had to come and do a second rec on this genre of nostalgic games. So often I go into (misogynistic) gamer inherited thinking and ignore this whole genre as a legitimate form of gaming. I spent hours on my family computer playing games like My Scene, especially the Barbie Myscene nails game that came with printable stickers so you could print out the nails to wear. I also loved My Little Pony Friendship Gardens, so colourful and lovely. I spent lots of time on Neopets and Club penguin and other online games like that too.

i don't think anyone ever intends to become a recreational ornithologist. but i've noticed that it definitely creeps up on you slowly in your mid-twenties. it starts with noticing how funny pigeons are, then learning pigeon lore, and suddenly you're feeding your neighbourhood birds every morning and buying books on birds. as a child i idolised the pigeon lady in home alone 2, and i woke up this morning and realised — i AM the pigeon lady 🐦

reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. you’re forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You can’t just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. it’s super underrated, but genuinely I’ve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you don’t have to do it in one big block, you can space it out — 15 mins here, 45 there — whatever works for you!

our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself — even if it means you're 'uncool'.
